CUSTOM UNITS OF MEASURE
[11:149] - The
American inch = 25.400508001 mm and the British inch = 25.399978 mm.
[11:150] - The sacred Jewish, or pyramid, inch = 1.001081 American inch
= 1.00106 British inch.
[14:2] - The pyramid inch "PI" = 1.0011 present inches, and
1.0010846752 British inches [4:164]
[11:151] - Use of the pyramid inch is attributed to Sir Isaac Newton,
who discovered that many of the measurements of the pyramid would be in whole
numbers if this unit were used.
[14:6] - The English inch was originally the same as the pyramid inch
during the time of Queen Elizabeth.
[14:1] - The pyramid or "sacred" cubit = 25 pyramid inches.
[4:255] - The mean density of the earth is about 5.7 times that of water
at 68 degrees F. and a barometric pressure of 30.00 PI of mercury.
[4:255] - All of the courses of masonry in the King's Chamber have 23
or more stones, except the 5th course, which has only 7 (5,7 -> 5.7).
[4:257] - The Pyramid Pint is 28.5 (5 * 5.7) cubic pyramid inches of
water.
[4:257] - The Pyramid Pound is 5 cubic pyramid inches of earth matter
of average density.
[4:257] - A Pyramid Pint weighs one Pyramid Pound.
[4:257] - A Pyramid Ton is 2500 Pyramid Pints or 2500 x 5 cubic pyramid
inches of average density earth matter. {(12500 cubic PI) * (1.003246507 cu
inch / cubic PI) * (90.620464 gram / cu inch) * (1 kg / 1000 grams) = 1136.4333
kg}
[4:257] - A cubic pyramid cubit of average density earth matter weighs
1.25 Pyramid Tons. {(25 x 25 x 25 cubic PI / 1 cubic pyramid cubit) * (Pyramid
Ton / 2500 x 5 cubic PI) = 1.25 Pyramid Ton / cubic Cubit}
[4:257] - The coffer in the King's Chamber has a volume equal to 1 Pyramid
Ton.
[4:116] - The Pyramid Mile is 2917.46356+ cubits or 6084.6418 ft. {mile
= 5280 ft., British nautical mile = 6080 ft.}
[18:xiii] To date,
archaeologists have located 98 pyramids in Egypt, all of which are located on
the West Bank of the Nile. None on East side.
[18:245] - The Great Pyramid has been dated as circa 2770 B.C.
[11:161] - The pyramid was built in 2623 B.C.
[68:35] - The pyramid was built circa 2450 B.C. according to star alignment
data for the 4 air shafts of the King and Queen's chambers.
[14:75] - At the time the pyramid was built there was no written language
(only hieroglyphics).
[11:150] - The pyramid is the most comprehensively surveyed building
in the world.
[14:70] - The Giza Plateau has a fairly level granite bedrock base, in
essence, a flat topped mountain. Other regions near the Great Pyramid could
not have supported the immense weight of the structure.
[70:68] - The Great Pyramid is at the northern edge of the Giza plateau
and close to the cliff there. Much of the rubble and debris from construction
was dumped over the cliff and actually acts to strengthen the cliff from crumbling
due to the tremendous weight and closeness of the Great Pyramid.
[14:40] - There is so much stone mass in the pyramid that the interior
temperature is constant and equals the average temperature of the earth, 68
degrees Fahrenheit.
[14:60] - The pyramid is estimated to have 2,300,000 stone blocks weighing
from 2-30 tons each with some weighing as much as 70 tons.{conflicts with [5:20]}
[5:20] - Computer calculations indicate 590,712 stone blocks used in
construction.
[11:143] - Two types of limestone were used for construction. A soft
limestone either pure or nummulitic was used for the bulk of the core blocks
and a hard white limestone for the mantle. Hard limestone becomes more polished
with age.
[11:139] - The base of the pyramid covers 13.6 acres with each side greater
than 5 acres in area.
[14:76] - The outer mantle was composed of 144,000 casing stones, all
highly polished and flat to an accuracy of 1/100th of an inch, about 100 inches
thick and weighing about 15 tons each with nearly perfect right angles for all
six sides. [11:146]
[5:52] - Computer calculations indicated 40,745 casing stones were used
averaging 40 tons each before the face angle was cut.
[18:71] - The average casing stone on the lowest level was 5 ft. long
by 5 ft. high by 6 ft. deep and weighed 15 tons.
[14:78] - The casing stones weighing as much as 20 tons were placed with
an accuracy of 5/1000ths of an inch, and an intentional gap of about 2/100ths
of an inch for mortar.
[5:52] - Assuming 590,712 blocks and a build time of 20 years an average
of 81 blocks per day would need to be placed. Using 10 work crews per side of
the pyramid, each work crew would need to place 2 block per day.
[14:79] - The mortar used is of an unknown origin. It has been analyzed
and it's chemical composition is known but it can't be reproduced. It is stronger
than the stone and still holding up today.
[14:74] - The cornerstone foundations of the pyramid have ball and socket
construction capable of dealing with heat expansion and earthquakes.
[4:5] - The four corner sockets are at different heights. The vertical
distance between the highest and lowest is 17 inches. The reference point known
as the "mean socket level", or base level, is generally used as the
reference for height and perimeter measurements.
[4:5] - The "sidereal socket level" is the mean of just the
SW and SE socket heights.
[11:151] - The length of a base is 9131 PI from corner to corner in a
straight line.
[4:5] - The length of a base side at the base socket level is 9131 pyramid
inches or 365.24 pyramid cubits.
[4:5] - The length of a base side at sidereal socket level is 9131.4
pyramid inches or 365.256+ pyramid cubits.
[4:7] - The length of the perimeter at the sidereal socket level is 36525.63629+
pyramid inches.
[4:9] - 201 complete courses of masonry remain with remnants of 2 more
at the summit. The top surface is 5478 pyramid inches above the mean socket
level. Another 335 pyramid inches higher is the geometric apex formed by the
corner edges of the projected mantle.
[70:151] - The 35th course of stones is roughly 50 inches tall, nearly
twice the height of the previous courses. The height of the 35th course = 1162.6
PI from ground or the length of the Antechamber x 10.
[4:10] - The capstone is thought to have been intact about 100 B.C. since
no mention of its absence was recorded by the historian Diodorus Siculus.
[14:25] - The capstone of the pyramid is thought to have always been
absent. {conflicts with [4:10]}
[4:22] - The capstone is thought to have been an exact replica of the
large pyramid on a scale of 1 to sqrt(Pi)/100. The ratio of any corresponding
pyramid dimension over the capstone dimension, when multiplied by the square
root of Pi equals 100.
[4:11] - The estimated height of the capstone is about 103.03+ pyramid
inches and about 6-1/2 cubits on a side.
[14:62] - The height of the pyramid to the missing apex formed by extending
the sides is 5813 PI.
[4:7] - The perfect formula height of the pyramid including the missing
apex is 5813.2355653763+ PI, calculated from perimeter of base (sidereal socket
level) divided by 2 Pi.
[11:151] - The height to the missing apex is 5812.98 PI.
[14:63] - The height of the pyramid without the capstone is 5496 PI.
{conflicts with [4:9]}
[14:28] - The four faces of the pyramid are slightly concave, the only
pyramid to have been built this way.
[18:65] - The centers of the four sides are indented with an extraordinary
degree of precision forming the only 8 sided pyramid. The effect is not visible
from the ground or from a distance but only from the air, and then only under
the proper lighting conditions.
[18:310] - The 5 angles of the Great Pyramid are: edge to edge of face
at apex = 76:17:13.2 (deg,min,sec), edge to diagonal edge at apex = 96:3:0.0,
dihedral or face to face parallel to base = 112:25:39.4, edge to base = 41:59:50.5,
face to base = 51:51:14.3. The face to base angle is the angle of the casing
stones.
[11:161] - The Great Pyramid is the only pyramid to have chambers above
ground level. {not true, for example Bent Pyramid of Sneferu (Khufu's father),
Red pyramid at Dashur}
[18:310] - The volume of the pyramid is: V = 1/3 base area x height =
161,559,817,000 cubic PI = 10,339,828.3 cubic pyramid cubits. {(5813.2355653
PI)/3 * 9131 PI * 9131 PI}
[0:1] - The length of the Great Pyramid's corner edges are 8688.00 PI.
[0:2] - The slant face height of the Great Pyramid's sides are 7391.72
PI.
[0:3] - The area of the base covers 13.3 acres or 83,375,161 sq. PI.
[0:4] - The area of each face covers 10.8 acres or 67,493,782 sq PI.
[14:46] - The angle of the Descending Passage is 26 deg, 18 min, 9.5
sec or about 26.30 degrees.
[11:151] - The passages are straight to within 0.013 in. per 100 ft.
[4:162] - The dimensions of the Descending Passage are 4535 PI in length,
41.524 PI in width, and 36.197 PI in height. [4:197]
[4:97] - The length of the Ascending passage from the junction of the
Descending Passage to the Grand Gallery is 1543.46451 PI.
[4:96] - The length of the Grand Gallery is 1881.5985600+ PI, and its
width just above the ramp stones is 82.41 PI.
[11:165] - Grand Gallery is 28 feet high by 1881-1/3 PI long.
[4:97] - The length of the horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber
is 1521.31136 PI.
[102:12] - The name "Queen's Chamber" is considered a misnomer
by Egyptologists since no queens have ever been found in pharaoh's pyramids.
[4:94] - The volume of the Queen's Chamber is 9,963,200 cubic PI.
[70:140] - Dimensions of the King's Chamer in PI: 412.132 x x 230.243
H
[14:39] - Dimensions of the King's Chamber in PI: 413 L x 206 W x 228
H {conflicts with [36:266]}
[4:266] - Height of King's Chamber is 230.388 PI.
[70:119] - The lowest course of blocks in the King's Chamber appears
5 PI shorter than the rest because the floor is raised above the base of the
walls. The height of the walls is then 235.243 PI.
[4:12] - There are 100 blocks making up the walls of the King's Chamber
in 5 courses.
[4:221] - Antechamber to King's Chamber: 116.26471 PI length (103.03292
PI is granite), 149.44644 PI high
[4:255] - Coffer measurements: volume = 71250 cubic PI, interior length
= 77.8141353+ PI, interior width = 26.6836336+ PI, interior depth = 34.3147946+
PI, exterior length (at top) = 89.94438003 PI, exterior length (at bottom) 89.6578860PI,
exterior width = 38.67063162 PI, exterior height = 41.21316892, side and end
thickness = 5.99349900 PI, bottom thickness = 6.89837429 PI.
[39:68] - The granite coffer in the King's Chamber is too big to fit
through the passages and so it must have been put in place during construction.
[11:159] - Microscopic analysis of the coffer reveals that it was made
with a fixed point drill that used hard jewel bits and a drilling force of 2
tons.
[70:111] - The coffer was sawed out of a block of solid granite. This
would have required bronze saws 8-9 ft. long set with teeth of sapphires. Hollowing
out of the interior would require tubular drills of the same material applied
with a tremendous vertical force.
[18:110] - Although the walls of the Queen's Chamber are of finished
stone, the floor is rough and unfinished. Many believe the room to have been
abandoned as the intended pharaoh's burial room as the King's Chamber was completed.
The horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber still bears faint red ocher construction
lines along its entire 150 foot length. The horizontal passage is also rough
and unfinished.
[18:110] - The Queen's Chamber has a gabled roof and the King's Chamber
a flat roof. It was long a custom for Arabs to bury their women in rooms with
gabled roofs but to bury men in rooms with flat ceilings.
[42:65] - The casing stones for the Great Pyramid were cut in quarries
from Tura and Masara located on the east bank of the Nile on outskirts of Cairo.
[18:72] - The Great Pyramid had a swivel door entrance at one time. Swivel
doors were found in only two other pyramids: Khufu's father and grandfather,
Sneferu and Huni, respectively.
[11:157] - It is reported that when the pyramid was first broken into
that the swivel door, weighing some 20 tons, was so well balanced that it could
be opened by pushing out from the inside with only minimal force, but when closed,
was so perfect a fit that it could scarcely be detected and there was not enough
crack or crevice around the edges to gain a grasp from the outside.
[102:9] - The original entrance was located on the north face, about
49 feet above the base and 24 feet east of the central axis of the north face.
[18:82] - The Grand Gallery contains two grooves, one in the east wall
and one in the west wall. They are 7 inches high, 1 inch deep, and 5 inches
up from the 3rd overlapping corbel. They run the entire length of the gallery.
[68:45] - Of all the pyramids, only the Great Pyramid has "air shafts".
The King's Chamber has 2, about 5 inches in diameter which connect to the exterior.
The Queen's Chamber has 2 which stopped just short of the walls of the chamber
and which do not penetrate completely to the exterior. The cross section of
these shafts are sometimes oval, sometimes domed, and sometimes rectangular.
[14:58] - There are no hieroglyphics or writings in the Great Pyramid.
The only symbols are some graphics on the wall of the Room of Chaos.
[102:154] - Each of the ceiling stones in the Grand Gallery were individually
removable. The Great Pyramid could have functioned as a stellar observatory
during its construction.
[70:302] - There are 36 ceiling stones in the roof of the Grand Gallery.
[4:258] - Taking average earth density as 1.0, the average density of
the core limestone blocks is 0.412, the limestone casing blocks is 0.367, the
granite of the King's Chamber is 0.479.
[4:258] - The estimate for the average density of the pyramid as a whole,
taking into account the different type and quantities of stone as well as the
hollow chambers is 0.4078994+ times that of the average earth density (taken
as 1.0).
SECRET ROOMS
[68:173] - Sixty-five
meters up the southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber is a miniature portcullis
slab discovered by a robotic camera in 1993. Attached are two copper fittings,
one broken. This area of the shaft is lined with Tura limestone, which is typically
used in pyramids only for lining chambers.
[18:103] - In the King's Chamber all of the stone joints are very tight
except in the lower left-hand corner of the west wall. Here the joints are larger
than normal and covered by mortar. This is a strong indication of an opening
to another chamber or passage. The Egyptian government has refused requests
for further exploration.
[18:104] - In 1986 a French team using microgravimeter equipment detected
small hidden cavities behind the west wall of the horizontal passage to the
Queen's Chamber. They were permitted to bore a 1" diameter hole and found
a cavity filled with sand. They were not permitted to dig or tunnel for further
investigation.
[18:105] - The cavities in the horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber
correspond to two floor stones in this passageway with joints perpendicular
to the rest of the joints in the floor stones. This type of indicator can also
be found at the junction of the descending and ascending passageways.
[18:276] - About 70 feet along the north side of the Great Pyramid from
the northeast corner is a 4x10 ft stone sunk into the foundation at an angle.
The joints are very precise and this is the only stone in the foundation perimeter
not at a right angle to normal construction. It would have been covered by the
mantle but is now accessible since the mantle is gone. It is very likely an
entrance. No further investigation has been done.
[14:72] - It has long been believed that the Sphinx had subterranean
tunnels leading to each of the three major pyramids. In October, 1994, a passage
leading to a subterranean area beneath the Sphinx was re-discovered. Further
investigation is expected in February of 1995.
[88:101] - In 1987 a Japenese team used an electromagnetic wave method
to search for cavities in the Great Pyramid. They identified a cavity under
the horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber about 1.5 meters beneath and extending
for 2.5-3.0 meters in depth. They also identified a cavity behind the wester
part of the northern wall of the Queen's Chamber. They identified no cavities
within the King's chamber, possibly due to the denser granite walls. Three potential
cavities were identified in the area of the Sphinx.
GEOMETRIC RELATIONS
[14:57] - The information
symbolized within the Great Pyramid is repeated multiple times.
[14:13] - The ratio of the diagonal of the pyramid's base to it's height
= 9:10
[14:14] - The slope of the angle of the pyramid's corners are in the
ratio of 9:10
[14:16] - The length of the Antechamber to the King's Chamber = 1/50th
the height of the pyramid.
[14:24] - Value of Pi: The perimeter of the base divided by twice
the height = Pi to 5 decimal places {9131*4/5813*2 = 3.141579+}
[18:126] - The relationship of Pi between the circumference and diameter
of a circle was thought to have been first reported in 300 B.C. by the Greek
mathematician Archimedes.
[70:140] - Value of Pi: The perimeter of the north or south wall
of the King's Chamber divided by the length of the wall = Pi {(230.38+5.0+412.12)*2
/ 412.12 = 3.14}
[18:126] - Value of Phi: - The ratio of the apothem (face slant
height) to half a base side = Phi (1.618). Phi is another transcendental number
like Pi which has no exact value (approximate value = 1.6181818...). The unique
properties of Phi are that phi +1 = phi squared and also 1 + 1/phi = phi. The
Phi ratio is the basis for the Fibonacci sequence 1,1,2,3,5,8,13.,21,34... which
was not generally publicized until 1200 A.D.
[18:194] - There is evidence that the Egyptians had worked out a relationship
between Pi and Phi of: Pi = 6/5ths of (Phi)**2.
[18:126] - If the height of the pyramid is taken as the radius of a circle,
then the circumference of this circle is the same as the perimeter of the base.
This provided the complimentary squaring of a circle and circling of a square.
The key to this relationship is knowledge of the value of Pi and designing the
angle of the pyramid to be exactly 51 degrees, 51 minutes, and 14.3 seconds.
[14:18] - The length of the King's Chamber in pyramid inches used
as the diameter of a circle produces a circle with area equal to the area of
the base of the pyramid if that area is expressed in sacred cubits.
[18:102] - The Pythagorean relationship represented by a 3-4-5 right
triangle is displayed in the dimensions of the King's Chamber. The east wall
diagonal is 309", the length is 412", and the long central diagonal
is 515". However, the Pythagorean relation was not identified until
497 B.C.
[18:102] - In the King's Chamber, the stone over the entrance is the
only stone in the walls that is two courses high. It represents a 3-4-5 Pythagorean
relationship by its measure of 124"L x 93"H x 155" diagonal.
[4:263] - The coffer's mean length is the same as the width of the King's
Chamber minus the length of the antechamber.
[4:265] - The external height of the coffer is 1/10th the length of the
King's Chamber.
[4:266] - The top of the coffer has an inset to hold the lid. The inset
forms a rectangle of 80.949+ PI by 34.244+ PI. The perimeter of this rectangle
is the same as the height of the King's Chamber {230.388 PI}.
[70:109] - The coffer's interior volume is 1/2 of it's exterior volume.
[11:151] - The
information encoded into the Great Pyramid is repeated multiple times.
[11:143] - With the mantle in place, the Great Pyramid could be seen
from the mountains in Israel and probably the moon as well. It's polished surfaces
would have reflected light like a beacon.
[14:59] - Mean Earth Temperature: The average temperature of
Egypt equals the average temperature of earth = avg. temperature of Queen's
Chamber = 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
[102:122] - With the original surrounding courtyards and temples in place,
the pyramid was used as a sundial.
[14:9] - The pyramid was used to indicate solstices and equinoxes.
[4:114] - The pyramid is located at 29 degrees, 58 minutes, 51.06 seconds
north latitude, and 31 degrees, 9 minutes, and 0.0 seconds east longitude.
[4:111] - Marks Spring Equinox: Due to the angle of the sides
of the pyramid vs. it's latitude, it casts no shadow at noon during the spring
equinox.
[14:72] - Aligned True North: The Great Pyramid is the most accurately
aligned structure in existence and faces true north with only 3/60th of a degree
of error. The position of the North Pole moves over time and the pyramid was
probably exactly aligned at one time.
[14:71] - Center of Land Mass: The Great Pyramid is located at
the center of the land mass of the earth. The east/west parallel that crosses
the most land and the north/south meridian that crosses the most land intersect
in two places on the earth, one in the ocean and the other at the Great Pyramid.
[4:5] - Tropical Year or Calendar Year: The length of a base
side is 9131 pyramid inches measured at the mean socket level, or 365.24 pyramid
cubits, which is the number of days in a year. {9131/25 = 365.24, accurate to
5 digits}
[14:3] - Tropical Year: - The perimeter of the base divided by
100 = 365.24, the number of days in a year. {9131 PI * 4 / 100, accurate to
5 digits}
[14:17] - Tropical Year: The length of the Antechamber used as
the diameter of a circle produces a circumference of 365.242. {accurate to 6
digits}
[4:251] - Tropical Year: - The length of the granite portion of
the floor of the antechamber to the King's Chamber times 2*sqrt(Pi) = 365.242
[4:96] - Tropical Year: The ratio of the lengths of the Grand
Gallery to the solid diagonal of the King's Chamber times 100 equals the number
of days in a tropical year. {(1881.5985600 / 51.516461) * 100 = 365.242200,
accurate to 8 digits}
[4:222] Sidereal Year: - The length of the antechamber of the
King's Chamber times Pi = length of a sidereal year { 116.26471 PI * 3.14159
= 365.25636 days, accurate to 8 digits}
[4:5] - Sidereal Year: The length of a base side at sidereal
socket level is 365.256+ pyramid cubits. {accurate to 6 digits}
[4:94] - Synodical Month: The "unit dimension" for
the Queen's Chamber is 92.173077+ PI. The number of days in the moon's synodical
month can be found from: 10 * U.D. = 10 * Pi * SM - 6, where SM is the days
and 6 represents "man's" number. {921.73077 = 10*3.14159*SM - 6, SM
= 29.5305882 days = 29days, 12hrs, 44min, 2.76 sec, accurate to 9 digits}
[4:97] - Synodical Month: Ten times the ratio of the lengths
of the Grand Gallery to the Horizontal Passage equals the ratio of a tropical
year to a synodical month. {10 * (1881.5985600 / 1521.31136) = 1.236826733;
365.2422 / 29.5305882= 1.236826702, the same to 8 digits}
[4:97] - Synodical Month: - The ratio of the lengths of the Grand
Gallery to the Ascending Passage is 1/10th the ratio of the day's in the Bible's
prophetic year (360) to the days in the moon's synodical month. {1881.5985600
/ 1543.46451 = 0.1 * (360/SM), SM = 29.53059357+, accurate to 8 digits}
[14:11] - Mean Distance to the Sun: ] The height of the pyramid
times 10**9 = avg. distance to sun. {5813.2355653 * 10**9 * (1 mi / 63291.58
PI) = 91,848,500 mi}
[14:12] - Mean Distance to the Sun: ] Half of the length of the
diagonal of the base times 10**6 = average distance to the sun
[4:7] - Mean Distance to Sun: The height of the pyramid times
10**9 represents the mean radius of the earth's orbit around the sun, or Astronomical
Unit. { 5813.235565376 pyramid inches x 10**9 = 91,848,816.9 miles}
[4:106] - Mean Distance to Moon: ] The length of the Jubilee passage
times 7 times 10**7 is the mean distance to the moon. {215.973053 PI * 7 * 10**7
= 1.5118e10 PI = 238,865 miles }
[4:267] - Sun's Radius: Twice the perimeter of the bottom of
the granite coffer times 10**8 is the sun's mean radius. { 270.45378502 PI*
10**8 = 427,316 miles}
[14:19] - Earth's Polar Radius: The sacred cubit times 10**7
= polar radius of the earth (distance from North Pole to earth's center) {25
PI * 10**7 * (1.001081 in / 1 PI) * (1 ft / 12 in) * (1 mi/ 5280 ft) = 3950
miles }
[11:153] Radius of the Earth: The curvature designed into the
faces of the pyramid exactly matches the radius of the earth.
[14:21] - Precession of the Equinoxes: ] The sum of the pyramid's
two base diagonals in PI = length of the Precession of the Equinoxes (~25827
years)
[14:22] - Precession of the Equinoxes: ] The distance from the
ceiling of the King's Chamber to the apex of the pyramid = 4110.5 PI. Which
is the radius of a circle whose circumference = the precession of the equinoxes.
{4110.5 * 2 * Pi = 25827}
[102:113] - Precession of the Equinoxes: ] The perimeter of the
35th course of blocks, which is much thicker than any of the other courses,
gives a figure for the precession of the equinoxes.
[14:23] - Speed of Earth around the Sun: - The pyramid inch times
10**8 = the speed of the earth around the sun, circa 2600 B.C.
[14:27] Mass of the Earth: The weight of the pyramid is estimated
at 5,955,000 tons. Multiplied by 10**8 gives a reasonable estimate of the earth's
mass.
[11:153] Average Land Height: The average height of land above
sea level for the earth is 5449 inches. This is also the height of the pyramid.
[14:47] - The pyramid suggests a temperature system: 0 = freezing point
of water, 50 = unvarying temp of Queen's Chamber, 250 = boiling point of water.
Given this, then 1000 = temp of red hot iron, 4000 = temp that iron liquifies,
and 5000 = temp of white heat and temp that platinum fuses. Nice round numbers.
[39:45] - 5 cubic pyramid inches of earth of average density has the
same mass as 1/(50x50) of the coffer's volume of water at a temperature that
is 1/5th the difference between freezing and boiling.
[39:90] - On midnight of the autumnal equinox in the year of the Great
Pyramid's completion, a line extending from the apex pointed to the star Alcyone.
Our solar system is thought by some to revolve around this star along with other
solar systems much like the planets revolve around our sun.
[14:48] - A line drawn on a map from the apex of the pyramid to Bethlehem
= angle of the Ascending Passage and crosses the Red Sea at the most likely
point that the Israelites crossed when departing Egypt (Parting of the Red Sea).
[14:49] - A line drawn on a map south from the apex of the pyramid at
the angle of the Ascending Passage crosses Mount Sinai (Ten Commandments).
[14:66] - North Star Pointer: The Descending Passage pointed to
the pole star Alpha Draconis, circa 2170-2144 B.C. This was the North Star at
that point in time. No other star has aligned with the passage since then.
[11:159] - The 344 ft. length of the Descending Passage provides an angle
of view of only +/- 1/3 of a degree. Alpha Draconis has not been in alignment
for thousands of years. The next alignment will be with the North Star, Polaris,
in about 2004 A.D. Polaris in Greek means "Satan".
[68:172] - The southern shaft in the King's Chamber (45 deg, 00 min,
00 sec) pointed to the star Al Nitak (Zeta Orionis) in the constellation Orion,
circa 2450 B.C. The Orion constellation was associated with the Egyptian god
Osiris. No other star aligned with this shaft during that Epoch.
[68:172] - The northern shaft in the King's Chamber (32 deg, 28 min,
00 sec) pointed to the star Alpha Draconis, circa 2450 B.C.
[68:172] - The southern shaft in the Queen's Chamber (39 deg, 30 min,
00 sec) pointed to the star Sirius, circa 2450 B.C. Sirius was associated with
the Egyptian goddess Isis and is also part of a unique ceremony practiced by
the African Dogon tribe.
[68:172] - The northern shaft in the Queen's Chamber (39 deg, 00 min,
00 sec) pointed to the star Ursa Minor, circa 2450 B.C.
[68:124] - Pyramids mirror Orion Constellation: The pyramid positions
on the ground are a reflection of the positions of the stars in the constellation
Orion circa 10,400 B.C. Five of the 7 brightest stars have pyramid equivalents:
The 3 great pyramids of Khufu, Khafra, and Menkaura for the belt of Orion, the
pyramid of Nebka at Abu Rawash corresponds to the star Saiph, the pyramid at
Zawat al Aryan corresponds to the star Bellatrix. The only two missing star
positions are for Betelgeuse and Rigel.
[4:17] - The Light Equation: The height of the Great Pyramid,
minus the height of the capstone represents one millionth the time it takes
light to travel the mean radius of the earth's orbit around the sun (1 astronomical
unit) using 1 pyramid inch equals 24 hours (mean solar day). { (5813.2355653
- 103.0369176) / 10**6 = .0057101986+ days = 493.36116 seconds = 8 minutes,
13.36 seconds }
[14:45] - Pyramid as a crystal: If the pyramid were a clear crystal
or glass prism, it would reflect sunlight at an angle of about 26.5 degrees.
{the descending passing has an angle of about 26.30 degrees}
[4:19] - The Velocity of Light: With distance of one A.U. known
and the transit time of light for this same distance the velocity of light can
be found. { 91,848,816.9 miles / 493.36+ seconds = 186,169.5 miles/sec }
[4:26] - The Constant of Aberration of Light: - The telescope
adjustment due to the speed of the earth as it moves through space when viewing
stars. It is measured as an angle of tilt and is 20.2608+ seconds of arc. The
difference in width between the upper Grand Gallery and Ascending Passage as
measured from an axial line through the center is 20.26 pyramid inches.
[4:30] - The Sun's Parallax: The size of the earth as viewed
from the Sun and expressed as an angle and generally taken to be 1/2 the diameter
at the equator (Solar Equatorial Parallax) is 8.9008091 seconds of arc using
91,848,817 miles as the mean distance to the sun and 3963.4914 miles as the
equatorial radius. The distance between the mean socket level and the height
of the leveled bedrock is 8.9008 PI.
[4:258] - Earth's Volume: The product of the pyramid's volume
and density times 10**15 equals the ratio of volume to density of the earth.
{10,339,823.3 cubic cubits * 0.4078994 * 10**15 = 4.21760772 x 10**21 cubic
cubits = 259.93 x 10**9 cubic miles}
[4:266] - Earth's Mass: Mass of the pyramid = volume * density
= 10,339,823.3 cubic cubits * 0.4078994 earth density = 4,217,497. The mass
converted to pyramid tons = 4217607.72 * 1.25 = 5,272,010 pyramid tons. Since
the mean density of the earth was defined as 1.0, then the mass of the earth
is 10**15 times the mass in pyramid tons = 5.272 x 10*21 pyramid tons = 5.99
x 10**24 kg
[4:275] - Gaussian Constant of Gravitation (k): The reciprocal
of the distance between the Coffer and the north or south wall of the King's
Chamber, minus one ten-billionth the bottom perimeter of the Coffer.
[39:46] - The word
"pyramid" is from the Coptic "pyr" meaning division, and
"met", meaning ten, "the division of ten".
[14:29] - The difference between the distance of a straight line from
corner to corner of the base and the curved line of the concave face is 286.1022,
the Displacement Factor (DF)
[14:30] - The ceiling of the Grand Gallery is 286.1 PI higher than the
ceiling of the Ascending Passage.
[14:31] - The perimeter of the base formed by the platform of the missing
capstone = 2861 PI
[14:32] - The center axis of the Great Step is located 35.76 PI east
of the vertical axis of the pyramid. 35.76 *8 = 286.08
[14:33] - The square base has a small depression halfway along each side
of 35.76 PI deep. 35.76 * 8 = 286.08
SEVENTEEN and 153
[14:50] - The first four digits of DF (286.1022) add up to 17, the number
of steps up to the entrance of the pyramid.
[14:51] - The sum of the digits from 1 to 17 = 153, a number which appears
multiple times in the pyramid.
[14:52] - Jesus's public ministry lasted 918 days. (153 * 6)
[14:53] - The number of fish caught by Jesus's disciples was 153. {John
21}
[14:54] - The Grand Gallery is 153 feet long.
[14:55] - If the 17 steps up to the entrance were continued to the peak
there would be 153 steps.
[14:56] - The center seam of the floor in the King's Chamber corresponds
to March 4-5, 1945. The bombing of Hiroshima occurred 153 days later.
FIVES
[39:45] - There are 5 sides to a pyramid and 5 corners.
[39:45] - There are 5x5 pyramid inches in a cubit.
[39:45] - The floor of the Queen's Chamber is on the 25th (5x5) course
of blocks.
[39:45] - The floor of the King's Chamber is 5x5 courses higher than
the Queen's Chamber.
[39:45] - The niche in the wall of the Queen's Chamber is 5x3 ft. high,
it is corbelled with 5 stories, the top is 5x5 inches across, and the inner
edge is 5x5 inches from the perpendicular center of the wall containing the
niche.
[39:45] - The King's Chamber has 5 courses of stone in each of it's 4
walls, and a total of 5x5x4 total stones in it's walls.
[39:45] - The King's Chamber has 5 chambers above it.
[39:45] - The coffer in the King's Chamber has 5 solid sides.
[39:45] - The King's Chamber is 5x10 times the volume of the coffer.
[39:45] - 5 cubic pyramid inches of earth of average density has the
same mass as 1/(50x50) of the coffer's volume of water at a temperature that
is 1/5th the difference between freezing and boiling.
[39:45] - The coffer's interior volume is 50*50*50 cubic pyramid inches
times 5.7, divided by 10. (5.7 is mean earth density)
SEVENS
The number 7 figures prominently in the Book of Revelation.
[39:88] - The height of the Grand Gallery is 7 times the average height
of the other passages.
[39:88] - The Grand Gallery has 7 overlapping courses forming its sides.
[39:88] - The Jubilee passage is 1/7th the length of the horizontal passage
to the Queen's Chamber.
[39:88] - The Queen's Chamber is a 7 sided room (gable roof is 2 sides)
[39:88] - The volume of the peaked area of the Queen's Chamber above
the walls is 1/7th the volume of the rest of the chamber from the floor to a
level equal to the ceiling of the passageway which enters the chamber.
SIMPSON PROPORTIONS OF
KING's CHAMBER
[4:12] - If we use a "unit dimension" for the King's Chamber
of 103.03 PI, which is the length of the granite portion of the floor in the
Antechamber to the King's Chamber measured north to south and also the theoretical
height of the missing capstone, then the dimensions of the King's Chamber exhibit
some interesting relationships:
| measure | whose square is | |
|---|---|---|
| width | UD * 2 | 4 |
| height | UD * 223607 | 5 |
| length | UD * 4 | 16 |
| end diagnonal | UD * 3 | 9 |
| floor diagonal | UD * 4.472 | 20 |
| side diagonal | UD * 4.583 | 21 |
| solid diagnonal | UD * 5 | 25 |
| sum of squares | 100 |
[11:161] - When
years are substituted for inches, the passages of the Great Pyramid become a
prophetic calendar.
[11:161] - The start of the Great Pyramid's construction was 2623 B.C.
[11:160] - The only markings in the pyramid are in the Descending Passage
at 482 PI inches from the pyramid face. This represents the last year the Pole
Star was aligned with the passage, 2141 B.C.
[83:225] - The start of the construction of the Great Pyramid is recorded
at 2523 B.C. via a scribed mark on the wall of the descending passage perpendicular
to the floor of the passage. All other stone joints in the passage are vertical
to the horizon.
[39:85] - The start of the construction of the Great Pyramid is recorded
at circa 2170 B.C. via a scribed mark on the wall of the descending passage.
[11:160] - 1170 PI (years) from the construction start date to the point
where the Ascending Passage meets the Descending Passage.
[11:161] - 1485 PI (years) from junction of Ascending/Descending passage
to start of the Grand Gallery.
[11:165] - 1881-1/3 PI (years) in length of Grand Gallery.
[14:43] - The ancient Hebrews used units of measure that were the same
length as the pyramid inch and sacred cubit.
[14:35] - Red Granite appears in the pyramid apparently to mark special
events in conjunction with prophetic events related to the Jews.
[11:159] - The red granite is fairly rare and identical with that of
Mt. Horeb, the mountain on which Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments.
{wasn't this Mt. Sinai?}
[14:36] - The empty coffer in the King's Chamber is made of red granite.
[4:251] - A portion of the floor in the Antechamber to the King's Chamber
is red granite and corresponds to the "unit dimension" of the King's
Chamber.
[14:64] - A red granite stone, triangular in shape, appears on a false
door at the intersection of the Ascending and Descending passages. This corresponds
to the prophecy year of circa 1486 B.C. (Hebrews depart Egypt under Moses)
[14:37] - The cubic capacity of the coffer = same as Ark of Covenant
made by Moses {Exodus 25}
[70:272] - The Ark of the Covenant was 2.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 Sacred Cubits.
Guessing the thickness of the sides as 1.8 PI gives a volume of 71,282 cubit
pyramid inches vs. the volume of the coffer of 71250 cubic pyramid inches.
[14:20] - The pyramid inch and sacred cubit are found as raised images
on a red granite plaque at the entrance to the Antechamber of King's room.
[14:34] - The length of the diagonals of the floor of the Antechamber
are 666 PI. {Revelation 13, mark of the Beast}

of God given seals during the apocalypse}
[83:225] - Birth of Adam, 4128.25 B.C.
[11:161] - Exodus of Israelites from Egypt, 1453 B.C. {junction of Ascending
& Descending passages}
[83:226] - Birth of Jesus, Sept. 29, 2 B.C. {intersection of Queen's
Chamber floor level with Ascending Passage}
[4:160] - Birth of Jesus, about autumnal equinox, 2 B.C.
[83:226] - Baptism of Jesus, Oct. 14, 29 A.D.
[36,161] - Baptism of Jesus, Oct. 5, 29 A.D.
[83:226] - Crucifixion of Jesus, April 3, 33 A.D. {beginning of Grand
Gallery}
[11:161] - Start of WWI, 1914 A.D. {end of Grand Gallery}
[14:10] - The pyramid
is the only remaining structure of the 7 wonders of the ancient world.
[14:5] - The polished surfaces of the original mantle reflected heat,
sunlight, and moonlight and was probably used as to aid Nile river navigation
at night.
[83:87] - No mummy has ever been found in a pyramid in Egypt. Mummies
have always come from mastabas or tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
[18:23] - The word "pharaoh" is from the Hebrew interpretation
of the Egyptian "per aa", originally meaning "the great house".
[11:167] - The word "pyramid" is composed of the Greek words
"pyra" meaning fire, light, or visible, and the word "midos"
meaning measures.
[83:90] - Between 1300-1700 A.D. mummy flesh was ground into powder and
used in Europe as medicinal aids.
[83:91] - Mummy powder has also been used for artist paints.
[83:91] - Mummy wrappings were at one time used to make paper and burned
in fireplaces by poor Egyptians.
[14:68] - The pyramids of Giza are among the oldest man-made structures
in existence.
[68:13] - Egypt was conquered by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.
[68:15] - The Greek (Egyptian) names of the pharaohs who ruled during
the construction of the 3 great pyramids are: Cheops (Khufu), Chephren (Khafra),
Mycerinos (Menkaura).
[68:13] Cleopatra was the last pharaonic ruler of Egypt before it fell
to Rome in 30 B.C.
[11:157] - The first recorded forced entry into the Great Pyramid was
by the Arab Abdullah Al Manun, caliph of Baghdad, in 820 A.D.
[102:63] - Initially, after the 5 chambers above the King's Chamber were
opened, those that entered the 2nd chamber were turned black by a powder which
existed only in that chamber. It was analyzed and determined to be the dust
from the cast off shells and skins of insects.
[18:17] - Most pyramids were accompanied by smaller satellite pyramids
usually built to the south and east of the main pyramid. Some were tombs for
queen's and princesses. Most of the structures were mastabas built to entomb
the pharaoh's family, members of royalty, and the priestly class.
[18:271] - In nearly all of the pyramids and tombs, it was a general
practice that the burial chamber was oriented slightly west of the north/south
center line of the pyramid.
[14:41] - In ancient Egypt, Pharaoh's wives were never buried with them
in pyramids or tombs, they were buried separately.
